Brother Jiu quickly shook his head: "No, no, no... Brother Five won't want it... We don't know when our branch office will be. We can't live on the fifty taels of silver a month. The previous properties can be reserved for Tianjin." It’s good to have some income…”
As for using his wife's dowry money, Brother Jiu has never thought about it, but he can't afford to lose that person.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have prepared gifts for the three officials last time and took money from the tenth prince.
This is a man's code, how can he spend a woman's money?
Shu Shu did not force it, but once again thought about the issue of open source: "When we come back, we will arrange for someone to open the restaurant first..."
Brother Jiu became interested and echoed: "With your recipes, there is nothing bad... just those desserts, some of which are good to eat in summer..."
Shu Shu is not worried about this.
Winter naturally has winter delicacies. Now that we have peppers, is there still a lack of delicacies?
You can make hot pot, barbecue, whatever.
The young couple chatted and the time was no longer so difficult.
When the carriage stopped, we arrived at the three rooms where we were staying today.
Shu Shu helped Brother Jiu get out of the carriage and looked around.
The entire team is still on the official road. There are no trees on both sides to block it. There are only patches of farmland and wilderness. There is a group of buildings on the edge of the official road not far ahead.
Wherever there is a royal road, there must be a palace.
Despite its small size, it is just a few connected large and small courtyards. Because it was where the emperor traveled, it was a palace with three rooms.
The team left the Forbidden City at the beginning of Yin Zheng's reign and stopped for an hour in the middle.
In total, we walked for five hours.
The approximate speed of the carriage...
"Sir, the journey today is more than sixty miles, isn't it?"
Shu Shu calculated based on the approximate speed that this place is not close to the inner city. It should be in Shunyi in later generations, past the Capital Airport and further to the northeast.
"Well, it's more than eighty miles today! The official roads in the capital are well built, so the journey will be faster... Tomorrow it will be eighty miles, and it will be slower after Bolo and Tun..."
Brother Jiu replied.
Xiaosong and Xiaoyu both came from the carriage behind.
Brother Jiu's eyes were fixed on Xiaosong.
This black girl is taller than Shu Shu, like an iron pillar, and can pull a seven-power bow!
On weekdays, she is not seen doing daily chores like the others, just playing with Shu Shu, like a useless girl who is useless.
Thinking about the last time she sat on Shu Shu and pushed and pressed her, Brother Jiu wished he could kick her out.
Then, he changed his mind.
When I go out, I can't always accompany her, so it's okay to have such a naive girl by my side.
"I'll go take a look at the imperial palace. You can go back to the car and wait for a while. Don't let anyone rush you..."
Brother Jiu told Shu Shu and took He Yuzhu to the imperial court.
Shu Shu looked at the building and estimated the number of courtyards.
Viewed from a distance, it looks like a large complex of buildings. It is much larger than the ordinary three-span, five-entry courtyard. It has seven entrances from the north to the south, and is wider from east to west.
However, the number of people in the retinue is so large that it is impossible to accommodate them all in the palace, but several princes and prince Fujin should be able to follow them.
This time Kangxi appointed seven princes as his retinue. The 10th and 13th princes were not yet married and did not have any female dependents.
The eldest brother and the third brother take care of Gege, two of them. They serve the elder brother in daily life. Without the mistress, they are not qualified to socialize in front of others. One of the two wives was in poor health and had to take care of their children, and the other was about to give birth and was not suitable for traveling, so they arranged for two Gege to follow each other.
There were always three people who came with the prince Fujin. In addition to Shu Shu and the sisters-in-law of the fifth Fujin, there was also the Nala clan of the seventh Fujin.
Wu Fujin was named by the Empress Dowager, Shu Shu was named by Concubine Yi, and Qifu Jin was named by herself.
She planned to go out and see the world, and also see if she could get pregnant without the Geges being in the way.
Although she was married into the palace in April last year, the wedding was only a year and a few months old, but when everyone said it, it was only two years.
If I don’t get pregnant this year, next year will be the third year.
There is not much time left for Qi Fujin. The draft is held every three years, which is a threshold for them, Prince Fujin.
Say Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will arrive.
At this moment, I saw Qi Fujin supporting a palace maid from the front, with sweat on his forehead and a bad look on his face.
The convoy of the prince's family members came in accordance with the order.
In front of the carriages of the ninth elder brother and his wife, is the motorcade of the seventh elder brother and his wife.
"Seventh sister-in-law..."
Shu Shu came forward, took Qi Fujin's hand, and looked down at her flag shoes: "Is it because the shoes are not comfortable? Didn't you buy flat shoes?"
After riding in a horse-drawn carriage for a whole day, in addition to the soreness in my back and back, there is another thing, that is, my feet are a little swollen. If I were still wearing my previous shoes, I would definitely be in ecstasy.
Shu Shu also had the same symptoms, but because she had thought of this earlier, she prepared looser shoes.
In fact, getting off the car and walking more often can also prevent edema.
Qi Fujin smiled bitterly and said: "I thought that I would have to ride a horse on the grassland, so I only brought two pairs of boots and riding clothes. I didn't expect that riding in a car would be so difficult, and I can't even wear the flag shoes..."
"It's okay, I'm rich and can do it loosely..."
Qi Fujin was a fist shorter than Shu Shu, and his shoes seemed to be of normal size, so he should be about the same size.
The two have known each other since childhood, and Qi Fujin was not polite. He only shook Shu Shu's hand gratefully: "Fortunately, I still want you..."
The Chinese army's cavalry moved first, followed by the carriages of the Queen Mother and her concubines.
When someone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs came over and informed the carriage that it was ready to move, it was already about to reach Shen Zheng.
Several princes and their families arranged three courtyards.
The eldest elder brother and the third elder brother share a courtyard, the fifth elder brother and the seventh elder brother share a courtyard, and Shu Shu and the ninth elder brother share a courtyard with the tenth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother.
Shu Shu's courtyard is located at the corner of the East Palace Road. It is a small three-sided courtyard with three main rooms and two east and west wings. Someone has already cleaned it out.
As the sister-in-law, Shu Shu took the main room without hesitation.
Just have a night's rest, but you have to lay out your bedding, take out the clothes you need to change for tomorrow, and pick out the street vegetables you prepared earlier.
All in all, except Xiaosong, everyone else performed their duties and became busy.
Xiaosong thought of the cross-country trip just now and couldn't help but be eager to try: "Fu Jin, how about I go further and hunt two rabbits and come back to add food..."
Shu Shu said: "I braised some vegetables yesterday. I can't stand this, so I need to eat it quickly... aren't there a few braised rabbits? Eat that one first..."
Although everyone had a few naps during the morning break, it was just a nap. Xiaosong touched his belly and went to look for Xiaotang.
Xiaotang was in the corridor, having set up a simple stove and started to boil water.
Xiaosong came over to help, but the situation became more and more chaotic.
Xiaotang was impatient at being disturbed, so he took off his purse and stuffed it into her hand: "Go away quickly. If you have nothing to do, go to the dining room and ask when you can get hot water..."
This small stove is for hot food and can only boil one pot of water.
But after running around all day, even in the car, there was a lot of dust. Fujin and his brother definitely needed to take a shower.
Xiaosong pinched the purse and smiled "hehe". There were frosted peanuts in it. He pinched this one and put it in his mouth. It was fragrant and sweet.
Xiaosong ate half a bag of peanuts, then invited Walnut to go look for the dining room together.
After entering the palace for more than a month, everyone has firmly remembered this rule in the palace, that is, no one is allowed to walk alone, and whenever going out, they must go together.
Not long after leaving the yard, Xiaosong and his wife bumped into Sun Jin who was walking towards them.
Behind Sun Jin, there were several kitchen eunuchs carrying several lunch boxes.
"How many?"
Xiaosong was startled.
The lunch box looks exquisite, and it is not an example of a servant.
Sun Jin wiped the sweat from his face: "In addition to the master and the master, the tenth master and the thirteenth master also received it..."
Hearing that they were going to the dining room, Sun Jin pointed to the southeast: "There are many stoves at that end, and two stoves are reserved for the prince and Fujin..."
After Sun Jin and others passed by, Xiaosong and Walnut continued towards the dining room, and met Brother Jiu and his party again. They hurriedly offered blessings and stepped aside to the side of the road.
"Is this Fujin sending you out? Are you looking for me, or?"
Brother Jiu asked.
"It wasn't Fujin who sent it. It was Sister Xiaotang who asked the slaves to go to the kitchen and ask for hot water..."
Komatsu answered honestly.
The ninth elder brother nodded, glanced at the tenth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother, and then ordered: "Go quickly, don't be stingy with money. If there is plenty of hot water now and ask people to send more, tell the tenth master and the tenth elder brother Third Master uses..."
Xiaosong responded.
Brother Thirteen said with embarrassment: "Brother Ninth, you have just moved in. The dining room must be busy too. My brother is not in a hurry to wash up..."
The tenth elder brother glanced at the ninth elder brother and snorted softly.
Brother Ninth coughed slightly: "The people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs came here to clean up the big dining room a long time ago... Women are troublesome and have a lot of water, so I can use it first... I'll go back to the big dining room and get some free time." Backwater is..."
Thirteenth Brother: "..."
"Brother Ninth, let's go quickly. I'm almost starving. I made a few small fires before lunch break... My sister-in-law made all the food for Khan Ama to eat..."
The tenth brother urged, and then complained: "Ama Khan, too, I just ate what I ate, and I didn't even say it was a good idea to reward my sister-in-law. I couldn't stand it, so I ordered a plate of roasted pork for you." , otherwise you will be at a loss..."
There was not much distance in total. The brothers arrived while talking.
The Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince were both escorts, and they had taken this route before. They stayed in three rooms on the first day, so they already knew the food and accommodation situation.
This was the first time Brother Thirteen saw this small courtyard, and his eyes widened.
He had heard before that he and his two brothers were assigned to a courtyard, and he thought that the courtyard would be big enough to accommodate these people.
After all, the combined population of the three elder brothers numbered dozens.
He had seen the camp where the emperor was stationed, and thought that even if it wasn't that big, it would be half as big. He never expected that it would be such a small courtyard.
This yard is only two feet square.
"Brother Ninth, are we staying here? What about the people following us?"
The Thirteenth Brother looked at the small two-room west wing assigned to him. He felt that it was only a few feet square, as big as a palm. He really couldn't think of how to accommodate the dozen or so eunuchs and nuns who followed him.
"Leave two night watchmen to serve closely, and the others will be placed in tents at the Ministry of Internal Affairs camp..."
Brother Jiu didn't take it seriously and said: "That's good. Once we enter the grassland, there are no official roads and no camps. Even Khan Ama has to sleep in a tent, let alone us brothers..."
Brother Thirteen remained silent.
The tenth elder brother glanced at the thirteenth elder brother and did not go to the east wing. Instead, he glanced at the temporary small stove under the main room.
It's just a small iron bucket with a small pot on it.
"What does my sister-in-law want me to eat?"
Brother Jiu didn't show up and asked Xiaotang directly.
"Fu Jin asked me to boil some boiling water and make a bowl of tea for our elder brother..."
Xiaotang replied.
Brother Jiu had a look of disappointment on his face.
Shu Shu heard the commotion outside and came out, greeted the tenth and thirteenth elder brothers, and then said to the ninth elder brother: "Sun Jin came back with everyone's meals, how do you eat?"
Brother Jiu glanced at the east and west compartments, which were really small: "There are no other people around, so let's put them in the main room..."
